2.2 Preparation of cationic rice straw cellulose
Rice husks (RH) used in the experiment was supplied by a local rice factory.
Waste rice husks was cleaned in order to remove impurities, and dried in sunlight. The
dried waste rice husks was crushed by a grinder and passed through a 30-mesh sieve.
In order to remove hemicellulose and lignin, the milled rice husks was soaked into a
mixed solution composed of 40 g L
-1
of NaOH and 2 g L
-1
of NaHSO
3
solution with a
bath ratio of 50 g: 1 L, and stirred at 90°C for 3 h, then washed with a large amount of
distilled water, dried in a vacuum oven at 60°C. The
reaction was carried out to
remove lignin with other impurities such as hemicelluloses, pectin, and waxy
materials. After the alkali treatment, the delignified rice husks (RHD) was placed into
a mixed solution composed of 10 g L
-1
of NaClO
2
and 5 g L
-1
of acetic acid at a bath
ratio of 35 g: 1 L, and stirred at 70°C for 1 h, with
the purpose of removing the
remaining lignin and hemicelluloses. The upper treatment process was repeated three
times to obtain the pure rice husks cellulose, which was
dried in a vacuum oven at
60°C. The bleaching treatment breaks down the phenolic compounds and
chromophoric groups present in the lignin molecule, thus whitening the RHD sample.
Finally, the dried cellulose was ground to a powder with a size of 40 mesh for further
modification process (RHC).
To prepare cationized rice husks cellulose (CRHC), 10 g of rice husks cellulose
was added to 250 mL of 20% NaOH solution, treated with an ultrasonic cell (10.8 kJ
g
-1
, 5 min) and stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The suspension was
filtered and
the solids were added to 250 mL of 10% NaOH solution and 240 ml of
epichlorohydrin, heated to 65 °C in a water bath, and stirred for 6 h. After the reaction,
the suspension was filtered and washed with isopropyl
alcohol to remove the
unreacted epichlorohydrin. The obtained solid was added to a 200 mL mixture
solution with 40 vl%
N,
N-dimethyl-1-octadecylamine/isopropanol, heated to 80°C
